With Thanksgiving just a few days away, all I'm thinking about is food. But it got me thinking, everyone loves all the wonderful traditional Thanksgiving foods, spend hours before and after talking about what they're excited to eat, what tasted the best, etc but I rarely hear much about the drinks! There are plenty of wonderful Thanksgiving-themed cocktails to be had to compliment your meal and ... Read the Post
7 Thanksgiving Cocktails You’ll Be Thankful For
Thanks for Nothing! Thanksgiving Cookies
Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, it's also a time for eating. Unless of course, you're on the menu. While many people think of pilgrims, Indians and a bountiful harvest, my mind steers towards turkeys in disguises and disgruntled side dishes. Really, not enough people spend time thinking about how it feels to be stuffing. The cookie art is based on doodles that I created, so to keep ... Read the Post
Happy Friday! Margarita Bear Cookies
As they say, "it's 5'o clock somewhere," but even if it's not, these margaritas are socially acceptable anytime of the day. And if this post does make you want to go out for an actual margarita at noon, I won't judge. It's Friday, anything goes. When I got my first box of cookies cutters, I went through several of them and drew the shape onto paper. I then looked at them all and decided what ... Read the Post

Halloween Alice and Wonderland Cookies
Did I mention I love Halloween? There are so many directions you can go with Halloween, it's so versatile - from cute and funny to spooky and fun all the way to gruesome and gory. Generally, I tend not to be a big fan of the last one. I don't watch horror movies because they are too scary. Hocus Pocus is about my Halloween speed. Since meeting my husband I have ventured out to a few haunted ... Read the Post
Happy Halloween Eve! Halloween Cookies
I feel ashamed that it has taken me till Halloween to write about Halloween. My favorite holiday, it warrants a month long celebration of Halloween desserts, foods and decor. But I suppose my celebrating, decorating, baking and multiple trips to the pumpkin patch have kept from the blogging part! To be fair, I did manage to get in a set of It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown cookies, an ode to ... Read the Post
Sam I Am Cookies
If you were following along with my anniversary countdown, you probably got more than enough of the "Sam I Am" theme. But for those of you just joining in, my name is Sam, my husbands name is Sam and we embrace it on a regular basis. People regularly ask us if we also plan to name our children Sam, we don't. But we do have the unique opportunity to give our children the initials, S.A.M, so that's ... Read the Post
